Architecture overview (IBM Spectrum Protect -TSM)

For each IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) Instance, the Data Collector will establish connections to the database using the command, dsmadmc. The Data Collector Configuration file contains all the connection information for each instance including such parameters as the user name and password for login, the instance name, IP address of the IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) server, and port.

The Data Collector will use various QUERY and SELECT commands via dsmadmc to obtain its information from each separate IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) Instance. The information is then sent via http(s) to the Portal. A user can then launch a web browser to use the Portal to see a global view of all of their IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) servers and IBM Spectrum Protect (TSM) Instances.
